Have you ever wanted something so badly that you tried to control exactly how and when it would happen… only to end up feeling frustrated or burned out?

In today’s episode, we’re continuing our Summer Mini Series on the Laws of the Universe — and we’re diving into one of the hardest (but most powerful) ones to practice: the Law of Detachment.

This law has taught me that the more we try to micromanage our desires, the more we unintentionally push them away. Detachment isn’t about giving up on your goals — it’s about letting go of the how and when, so you can make space for miracles, surprises, and better outcomes than you could’ve imagined.

I share a personal story about building our dream home — including a moment when I had to release control over the details — and how that surrender actually led to something more beautiful than I planned. We’ll also talk about emotional energy, why clinging to outcomes backfires, and how to shift from gripping fear into open trust.

If you’re a recovering control freak like me, this one’s for you. 💛

If this episode resonated with you, take a moment to leave a review at ratethispodcast.com/ourreimaginedlife. It helps more women find these messages and trust their own process of letting go.

Let it go. Let it flow. Let it come.

I love you.

Have you ever walked away from a craft show feeling defeated—wondering why no one bought, even when you lowered your prices?

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “People are cheap,” “Times are hard,” or “The market is saturated,” this episode is for you.

What started as a spontaneous scroll through Facebook turned into a passionate call-to-action for handmade sellers everywhere. I’m sharing the limiting beliefs I saw in one heartbreaking post with 331 negative comments but instead of feeding into the negativity of it, let’s reframe these thoughts so we can get out of a sales slump and into real success.

Because your customers aren’t the problem, you are.

What if the resistance you’re facing isn’t a red light—but a sign you’re on the right path?

In this episode we’re taking a break from our Summer Mini Series so that I can share with you how the Hero’s Journey—a storytelling framework found in movies like Back to the Future, The Lion King, and The Wizard of Oz—can help you understand what’s really happening when life feels hard in the middle of a goal.

We’re not just talking about movies today—we’re talking about your life.

I’ll walk you through each stage of the Hero’s Journey and show you how it mirrors the exact process we all go through when we set big, soul-aligned goals.

You’ll learn:

This one’s for those who feel they're not cut out for success or feels that maybe she missed her chance.

Spoiler alert - You didn’t.

You’re not behind. You’re right on time.

And it’s not falling apart—it’s all coming together.

Ever feel like the more you try to avoid something, the louder it gets? The more you push, the more stuck you feel? That’s the Law of Resistance at play—and today, we’re diving deep into what it means and how to work with it instead of against it.

In this episode, I’m unpacking one of the most confusing and misunderstood universal laws. I’ll walk you through how resistance shows up in our lives—sometimes subtly, sometimes like a freight train—and how it creates energetic blockages that stop the very flow we’re trying to create. Whether you’re resisting fear, lack, judgment, illness, visibility, or imperfection… that resistance has a message. It’s a sacred invitation to pause, soften, and listen.

You’ll hear personal stories, relatable examples from business and life, and some gentle practices to help you move through resistance with grace. Because when we stop resisting, we start receiving. Let’s talk about how to clear those energy traffic jams and return to the natural rhythm of flow.

Ever feel like life’s a rollercoaster—high one week, low the next? Maybe your product sales dip for no clear reason, or the energy in a relationship feels off. Before you start questioning everything, what if I told you... nothing is wrong? You're simply moving with a Universal Law.

In this episode of Our Reimagined Life, I’m continuing our Summer Minis Series on the Universal Laws for beginners with Law #12: The Law of Rhythm. This law teaches us that everything in life moves in natural cycles—highs and lows, ebbs and flows. From business sales to our emotions, energy, and relationships, rhythm is always in motion. And when we stop resisting the lows and start trusting the timing, we find more peace and purpose in every season.

I’ll share real examples from my life and business—like sales slumps, social media spirals, and relationships that shift—and how I’ve learned to ride the rhythm instead of fighting it. Whether you’re in a creative lull, a financial dry spell, or just feeling off… this episode will remind you that you’re not behind—you’re just in a different part of the wave.

In this episode:

What the Law of Rhythm really means and how it affects every part of life

Why nothing stays up (or down) forever

How resistance creates more struggle—and how to find peace in the pause

Personal stories from business, social media, and relationships

Ways to recognize your season, trust the dip, and use slow periods wisely

So if you’re currently in a low—know the rhythm is still flowing. And when the wave rises again (because it always does), you’ll be ready to ride it with more grace, confidence, and clarity.

Listen in and remember: you’re not broken—you’re in motion.

In this episode of Our Reimagined Life, I’m diving into Universal Law #11: The Law of Polarity — and wow, is this one powerful. This law reminds us that everything has an opposite, and more importantly, that both ends of the spectrum must exist for either one to be real.

That means for every fear, there's hope. For every failure, there’s a success. For every “no,” there’s a potential “yes.” And once we understand this, we begin to realize that we have the power to choose where we live on that spectrum.

We’ve all had moments where we worry something might go wrong — the launch won’t go well, the product won’t sell, the opportunity might disappear. But the Law of Polarity tells us: if failure is possible, so is success. Equal and opposite potentials exist at all times. So why not choose to believe in the good?

This episode is a gentle but empowering invitation to shift how we view setbacks, contrast, and uncomfortable emotions — and to use the Law of Polarity as a tool to guide us toward what we truly desire. You’ll leave with a renewed sense of possibility, a practical way to reframe life’s struggles, and maybe even a little magic in your heart.

Have you ever looked around and thought, “I should be further along by now”? That comparison trap is something we all fall into — especially as women navigating the big transitions of midlife, like empty nest or retirement. But today, I want to offer you a powerful reframe through the lens of the Law of Relativity.

In this episode, we’ll explore how this universal law reminds us that nothing in life is inherently good or bad, ahead or behind — it only seems that way when we compare it to something else. I share a fresh take on self-image, the illusion of success, and how shifting our internal perspective can immediately shift how we feel about our journey.

You’ll learn why comparison distorts your truth, how to spot when you’re misusing this law, and how to come back to center — where your unique strengths, divine timing, and purpose already exist.

✨ Here’s what we cover in this episode:

How to know when you're misusing the Law of Relativity

A self-image example around aging that might just change how you see yourself

What happens when you shift your comparisons inward instead of outward

How to stop seeing yourself as behind — and start honoring where you are

If you’ve ever felt discouraged by where you are in life or business, this episode will remind you: you’re not behind — you’re right on time.

What if your energy had a destination, and you were the one steering the wheel? In this episode of Our Reimagined Life, we explore the next Universal Law in our mini series #9: The Law of Intention. This powerful law reminds us that energy follows direction, and intention gives that energy purpose. It's not about wishful thinking or vague hopes but about declaring with clarity and confidence what you want to experience in your life.

I share how intention shaped real transformation in my own journey, including how my husband and I finally got out of debt when we shifted from passive wishing to focused, intentional action. I explain why so many people feel stuck or uncertain, and how that lack of direction is often the reason they don’t see change. You'll also learn what separates intention from simply working hard and how to begin using this law in your own life with a simple, grounding exercise.

Welcome back to the Summer Mini Series on Our Reimagined Life. Today we’re exploring Universal Law #8: The Law of Compensation—a powerful reminder that what you put into the world always returns to you in some form.

This episode isn’t just about money (although we talk about that too). It’s about value. Energy. Intention. Whether you’re creating a product, showing up in your home, or serving others in your own unique way; this law is keeping perfect score.

I’ll walk you through:

What the Law of Compensation really means

How your ability, the need for what you offer, and how hard it is to replace you all affect what you receive

Why doing “hard work” doesn’t always lead to high pay—and what does

How energy behind your creations (stress vs. joy) impacts your results

A personal story of how shifting my energy transformed a sale

This one will help you reframe your worth, reconnect with your why, and trust the seeds you’ve been planting.

💫 What if you already are enough… and it’s only a matter of time before the universe catches up?
